I noticed one thing: On shows or movies regarding Greek Life, for NPHC organizations, they show them on tv. For that Sister Sister episode, they showed the Nupes, the dad wore Alpha gear, Lisa had tons of Delta gear in the kitchen and when Tamara walked into the living room it was an AKA haven. There were also some SGRhos on the episode.

Even on "A Different World" they showed NPHC organizations. So, I guess my question is why NPCs and NICs/IFCs don't really allow that? I think it makes Greek life look great. In fact, Tamara's boyfriend initially joined to make fraternities look bad and eventually enjoyed it when he saw they didn't haze and only did community service.

Thoughts...
Just so you know (and you may already know this), when it comes to NPHC orgs, only members can be seen in paraphernalia, even on T.V. So whenever you see someone on T.V. in our letters, it's because they are really members. Otherwise, the show has to make up a sorority/fraternity for them to be in, if the actors in fact have to play such a role.
